JOHN S. CLEVELAND, OF NEPON SEI, ILLINOIS.

SULKY-YHARROW.

SIPECIFICATION forming. part of Letters Patent No. 282,271, dated July 31, 1883.

Application filed J uly 31, 1882. (No model.)

Be it known that I, J onn S. CLEVELAND, a citizen of thellnited States, residing at Neponset, in the county of Bureau andState of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sulky-Harrows; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear,

and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

Figure 1 is a sectional elevation in the line a: w in Fig. 2. Fig.32 isa rear elevation. Fig. 3 is a top plan. g

This invention relates to'sulky-harrows; and it consists in constructions and combinations ,and set forth in the claim Referring tothje drawings by letters, the

same letter indicatingthe same part in the different figures, letter A represents an axle supported on wheels 13 B, Bf a drivers seat mounted on the axle, and O atongue or guidepole connectedlwith the axle and braced by bars D D. The foregoing parts described by letters are parts of an ordinary sulky for harrows.

E is a bar locat some ldi'stance below the tongue O and transversely to the machine, and

connected with theftongue by braces e e and with the axleebyfbraces ef. F F ,F are harrows of, oblong rectangular forms, and each connected to the bar E by links f and eyes f. I ,0 i

G is an elbow-lever journaled at its bend to standards 9, whichproject from the rear side and mid-length of the axle A. The upper end rear end, one toeachs ide of the central har row. l 1

I I are shafts journaled in standards ito the rear side of the axle, [and each provided at its end nextthe lever Glwith a lever-handle, I, which passes forward beneath the drivers seat, similar to and closeto the lever G. The shafts of the lever G extends forward beneath the drivers seat, and; chains H extend from the A, and permit the rods K to swing sidewise and lengthwise of the machine. The rods K are located so that one hangs between each outer harrow and the. central harrow. The central brace, 6, extends forward of the bar E, and has an eye, e, on its forwardend, by f which the draft-animals draw the machine.

L are staples or catches hinged to the brace forward to release the levers G I and upward to hold them in the evident manner. The levers G I are located close to the driver, so that he can raise and lower all or either of the harrows, as required. The chains H and J are connected to the harrows a short distance in front of their centers, so that their forward ends may be raised first to facilitate passing over rubbish. When the levers G I are depressed to the board D, the harrows are elevated clear of the ground, and may be thus held byturning the catchesL backward. The pendent hinged rods K will swing with the harrows and not interfere with their movemerits, and will prevent either harrow being thrown onto the adjacent harrow when elevated by accident or by design.

What -I claim asnew is i In a sulky-harrow, the combination, with the harrows F F, hinged to the bar E, the bent lever G, chains H, levers I I I, and chains J, of the pendent swinging rods K K, hinged or board D, so that they may be turned down i to the axle A and located between the harrowsections, as described, all constructed and adapted to operate substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses. 1
